FREDERICTON – Here comes another lawsuit between Canadian Internet service providers.
Bell Aliant has brought legal action against Rogers over its claims of having the “fastest and most reliable" high speed Internet product, the company announced Monday.
In a legal claim filed in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Bell Aliant said that current advertising by Rogers is “false and misleading”, and said that it’s own FibreOP service provides speeds that are superior to those advertised by Rogers. With respect to network reliability, Bell Aliant said that it has one of the most reliable networks in North America, and that it believes that Rogers’ claim of being the "most reliable" is simply not true, based on how that term is commonly understood.
The company said that its previous attempts to address its concerns directly with Rogers have not been successful, leading to its decision to launch legal action to stop advertising which it claims is unfair to them as a service provider as well as to customers.
